Hiapo Rules! The OluKai Hiapo is amazing. It felt so comfortable the first day I wore it. The arch support is incredible. I did a moderate amount of walking the first day wearing the shoe and I got one small blister from the strap. The leather is very soft.

Break-in period needed...ended up with a couple blisters the first week, but have been great since.

Worth every penny - Best flip-flops I've ever owned. Better foot support than several of my dress shoes. Does take about a week or two to break in. No problems handling beach/salt water in Hawaii.

Worth every penny - These are not your everyday flip-flops. This is actually the second pair I have now bought, as I am completely in love with these! I have always had pain in my arches due to wearing flip-flops in the summer times; however this has been the first summer where I do not have arch issues that I attribute to the excellent arch support of OluKai... Plus, they look great too! You won’t be sorry.

OluKai sandal - Great sandal! Comfort, looks, arch support great. My foot is a little wide but these fit great. I'm going to order another pair in another color. An exceptional product.

These are by far the best sandals. Flip flops I ever had.

Good looking shoe! I bought this shoe for my boyfriend and I think they run a little smaller, so we had to go up a size, but the customer service was very prompt and extremely helpful!

Perfect Product - Super high quality. If you can afford it, this is the thong for you. Great leather and workmanship. Super comfortable. As has already been mentioned, purchase 1/2 size larger than usual. Not the same feel as Birks, but a lot more stylish.

Excellent! You can't go wrong with any OluKai product. If your looking for comfort, excellent arch support (which is very difficult to find in "flip-flops") and very high quality of materials/construction. This is the brand for you. I really like the overall design of the "Hiapo". You'll never regret your purchase of the wonderful brand. As mentioned before in other reviews. Make sure you order 1 size larger than normal. I wear size 10.5 and ordered size 12 and they were the perfect fit. Enjoy!

High end flip-flops - I shopped around quite a bit looking for a flip-flop that was nicer looking and more supportive than your typical drug store flip-flop. Not much to see in Minneapolis stores in March. That's when I remembered Zappos. I came across the brand from OluKai. I looked at the pictures and read the reviews and decided that this was the pair for me. It was exactly what I had been looking for. These baby's are the "BMW" of flip-flop sandals. No other manufacturer makes a more supportive, well constructed, good looking flip flop than these guys. Obviously they are more expensive that your typical flip-flop, but if you are like me and value comfort, quality of materials and construction over cost, than this is your brand. If not, than this review is not going to change your mind anyway. I suggest you order the next size up as they tend to run a bit small. Also, give yourself at least a few days break-in period, especially if you're not used to having a piece of leather between your toe. Once you get past that point, they are very supportive and comfortable. Highly recommended.

Great shoes - I just tried these on and I agree with everyone else, they do run a bit small. Thanks for the advice people; I got the right size the first time. I love these shoes, they look great and they are really comfortable. As always, praise to Zappos for speedy, excellent service.

The Rolls Royce of flip flops . . . My only complaint is I had to return the first pair for another pair a full size larger than my normal. These will look great with my Tommy Bahama silk slacks.

Best Flip Ever - I was looking for a pair of slippers that would have good arch support because I have Plantars Fasciitis, not a severe case, but none the less PF. I wear insoles on all my shoes now. That being known, I searched for flips w/ arch support on Google, and OluKai's came up. I've been buying on Zappos for some time and got these here. After about a two week break in period, OluKai's have turned out to be a great pair of flips! I got some irritation from the top strap at first, but after stretching them out a bit (just by wearing them), they feel great! I love the look of them! I feel like I have the "end all" in flip flops, and can get rid of all the non- arch support flips in the closet!!! If you need decent arch support, and want a long lasting pair of summer shoes... BUY THESE!!!

Excellent - I haven't worn thongs in years, so these took some getting used to. The shoe looks great, has good arch support. They do run a little small, I wear a 12 or 13 and in this case, the 13 fit. Unbelievably good service from Zappos. The shoes arrived the next day!

Awesome sandal - This will last me through the summer. Nice comfort sandal with good craftsmanship. I recommend it if you are the person who wears a sandals a lot.

Break'em in - Overall a great, interesting pair of flops. They need to be broken in as when I first put them on I though "yeeeesch". Cool patterns though and I just hope they last long. Kind of expensive for MIC. My size 9.5-10 foot takes up the entire footbed.

Great Sandal, tough to break in - I like my sandals, but the cross strap is a bit tight and the break-in period was a little rough. I really do like the look though and the great arch support.

Nice flops! Great comfort for a flip flop. Order a half size larger than you normally wear. Takes some getting used to if you are knew to flops. Nice looking pair of flops.
